I’ve been part of Facebook since it’s earliest days, when it required a university email address and a willingness to allow ex-boyfriends to see your every move. Since then, as far as Facebook is concerned, everything and nothing has changed. Facebook has since turned into…
When you login to Facebook, it asks, “What’s on your mind?” But does everyone need to know what’s on your mind?
